If DePaul somehow wins tonight, call their ticket office. No way they sell out their allotment.

Arriving Friday morning. I’m counting on all of you to cheer them on to a win Thursday.

Whew! I'm sure my son and I would have had an good time in NYC for the weekend, but it really would have sucked getting on that plane tomorrow knowing we weren't going to see MU play. Now, we're going to get to see MU beat UConn! What could be better?!

Seeing them beat UConn tomorrow and then cut down the nets Saturday night!!!

You're absolutely right, of course. I was focusing on Day 1 of our NYC adventure.

[mubb3434]

How many MU fans were there?

Have a blast there StillAWarrior...and bring back a piece of the net!

I'm curious about the crowd dynamics tomorrow night. Obviously, UConn will be well-represented. But I'm thinking that pretty much everyone else there will be rooting for MU. People hate UConn -- for good reason. And there is the strange situation that BE Champion MU is going to be playing the role of the underdog. I would think fans of any of the other teams coming from from tonight's games would be rooting for MU. I hope so, anyway.

I hate playing the early game because the other teams' fans aren't necessarily all there from the start - impacts atmosphere a bit during the first half.

I expect a very hostile, very Uconn heavy crowd tomorrow based on what I witnessed tonight. It's a pretty loud and obnoxious bunch. Don't get me wrong - MU also very well represented - definitely more MU fans than I've seen at any other BET I've been to. But UConn just has such a large and proximately located fan base. It really showed today.

Looking for ONE ticket!

Heading up from Philadelphia on the train after work. Happy to purchase a ticket from your last-minute dropout!

Go MU!

I’m in!

Got my ticket for tonight and now sitting on an extra one. Message me if interested and it’s yours - will go to a good MUscoop home!

Noticeably missing on Scoop so far are BET attendee reports from last night.  Me thinks there was a large amount of liquor consumed.

We stayed for the X/Creighton game and decided to save our bullets for today's pre and post game.

I can say that the atmosphere at the game was as good as any I've experienced. Great turnout from Marquette and nothing better than high five'ing fans throughout Midtown. All the other Big East fans I've spoken with have been highly complementary of the team, Shaka and the fans.

To those here in NYC - any good pre-game bar options with a Marquette presence (over flow from the official bar option)? Looking to ease into it a bit, earlier afternoon.

I’ll give you one Dr B.  MSG was electric.  Prob 50% UConn fans. 25-30% MU with much of the  field pulling for the good guys.  UConn fans were loud but we held our own to the point it felt like a true neutral court matchup.

Was every bit of the atmosphere promised and maybe the most intense game I’ve witnessed. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

Awesome!  Keep the reports coming and enjoy this lifetime memory.

Really hope everyone (team and coaching staff most importantly, then those lucky enough to be in the building, and the rest of us at home) get to celebrate a BET Championship. Would be an awesome accomplishment heading into the main goal. Enjoy it!

Saw on MU Facebook there is a large contingent of MU fans flying out of Midway to NYC.

[marqhattan]

Just secured tickets for tonight. Will be in Section 118 this time (we were Section 119 last night just across from the band). Gotta love when the tickets get better and cheaper as the team advances through the tournament.

If anyone is posted up at a good spot with MU fans ahead of the game, let us know.

Let's do this!!

On Metro North train to NYC.  Groups of Marquette fans getting on every station and we only just left Fairfield.

Love it.

Up by us last night in 226 it was nowhere near to a neutral crowd. UConn fans would break into their “Husky” cheer from time to time. I’d think tonight it should be pretty even. Plenty of X fans at our hotel.
